Future and past Taitaja events
Upcoming Taitaja events
VET providers and Skills Finland have agreed on a model in which the organiser of the Taitaja event will no longer be selected on the basis of applications, but the organisers will be decided together for a few years onwards. This enables the long-term collaborative development of the event.
Taitaja2027
The International Abilympics competition for people with special needs will be held at Messukeskus, Helsinki in May 2027. The unique major event will be organised concurrently with the Taitaja2027 event. The event is called Skills Games.
